I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, enjoying its excellent location just a short walk from charming shops and eateries. The rooftop restaurant offered fantastic views and delicious food. The room was cozy, and I appreciated the lovely balcony. However, the room size was on the smaller side, which might not suit everyone. Overall, the experience was memorable, especially with such helpful service and a hearty breakfast each morning.
